It's not just Seattle's lefties who tout the benefits of organics, it's also one of the region's premier right-wing religious political activists. There was an interesting nugget in The Seattle Times' coverage of the recent visit to the area by Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee: Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas, was endorsed by Joseph Fuiten, pastor of Cedar Park Church in Bothell, and 29 other evangelical-faith community leaders from the area. "The governor represents our values," Fuiten said after a small fundraising luncheon at the Harbor Club in Bellevue. "I like that he believes, and I like what he believes. His Christianity is organic; he has been this way all his life." Not sure what non-organic Christianity is, but I'm sure it involves plenty of fertilizer.
